DAVID GOLDBLATT
ON THE MINES
David Goldblatt is one of today’s most important contemporary photographers both for his social commitment and for the quality of his compositions.
These photos were shot in the 1960s; the work is surprising for its toughness and diversity.
The mines are always a huge component of South African life. While they represent the country’s great wealth they also reveal its enormous social differences, they are emblematic of the complexity of the issues at stake in South Africa.
Foto Industria is the first in Europe to present this exhibition created by the Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg.

Housed in fifteenth-century Palazzo Galvani, the Archaeology Museum boasts 200,000 works with one of the most important Italian archaeology collections, comprising artefacts from the old University Museum, those donated by the painter Pelagio Palagi, and those from excavations done in the Bologna area in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The museum’s Etruscan section is the starting point for learning about the civilization of Po Valley Etruria; it also features masterpieces of Greek and Roman art and a particularly important collection of Egyptian antiquities.
